We're committed to providing the best possible service to our customers, and to those who serve them. We understand a well trained and highly motivated crew is the best recipe for a successful operation, thus provide a full program of training programs and materials.

Pre-opening Training
New franchisees receive six weeks of training for the owner and General Manager. This provides a comprehensive overview of managing an El Pollo Loco for success. As your opening date grows closer, a restaurant opening specialist will work with you to plan and coordinate the details. On the actual opening date, El Pollo Loco personnel will be on hand to make sure everything goes according to plan.

Ongoing Training
Once your restaurant is open we continue to support your efforts with training programs for both crew members and management development. Our training center in Irvine California is designed to provide training in all aspects of restaurant operation.
Crew Support
We know that crew members are the most important ingredient in delivering exceptional guest experiences. We provide support and guidance in the recruiting, hiring and training of employees who will build your sales and customer loyalty. Special programs, such as our Grand Grill Master competition increase fun and motivation. Incentive contests and mystery shopping programs conducted by EPL and strategic partners like Coke give crew members a chance to be rewarded for great performance.
